Beware worst company every. I wish i could give negative stars. 1 star is too generous. I had to threaten them with legal action after 115 days of non payment. They avoid your calls and lie. i know dozens of others who have the same horror story. Who are these people giving 5 stars with no actual review. obvious people planted to boost their rating. nobody has every had anything good to say about them.
I worked here for almost two years from a paid intern to Associate Producer. I got a lot of valuable editing and producing experience out of it and it was a great gateway to the media industry. The people there were awesome and the company culture was a highlight. I've talked with other people who have felt the same way. The CEO is really passionate and everyone's part is valued. I understand the reviews from freelancers not being paid on time which is an issue when there is a slow quarter. But it's something I've seen them bounce back from and everyone is paid eventually. As an employee I've never had an issue being paid. Overall I really valued my experience here and hope they do great work in the future.
they do not pay freelancers money owed to them. avoid
DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY! I WISH I COULD GIVE 0 STARS! They do not pay their freelance workers. They week after week lie saying they will pay you until you are over 100 days without payments. Ive still not received over $1000 from this company. DO NOT WORK FOR THEM OR WITH THEM!!!
I worked w Magnet as an actor for one of their productions. I was paid within the 60 days contract after many emails + a google review. Joe was able to shoot over my payment shortly. It was a fun project and am glad to have gotten paid.
I have yet to be paid by them, and its has been 106 days since the shoot.
Update: I was finally paid, but it took almost half a year. Actors beware and make sure you discuss NET90, NET60, and NET30 and have it in writing when you will be paid, and discuss accommodation in writing if this will not be met.
Magnet Media DOES NOT PAY FREELANCE STAFF. DO NOT WORK FOR THEM. Its time for a class action lawsuit and SHUT MAGNET MEDIA DOWN.
Absolutely terrible to their freelance staff. They do not pay vendors on time. They do not respond to emails, and will only pay vendors and freelancers when threatened.
They have a history of mistreating their freelancers. They will ask you to sign a Net 60 contract but won t actually pay within 60 days. When you complain to them, assuming someone actually replies, they ll tell you the company is restructuring, all small businesses go through ups and downs, etc. It s the same thing every time. Then they may offer to put you on a payment plan, which they ll adhere to at first. But then those payments will stop. If you know what s good for you, you ll stay far away from Magnet Media
Magnet Media is a great place to work. I had an amazing experience as Marketing Intern. It's a nice and collaborative teamwork environment even while working remotely. I grew both personally and professionally. I learned how to be a valuable team player and communicate professionally and effectively with other members of a marketing team. Magnet Media was a great place to intern because of all of the different tasks, meetings, events, and networks to be part of.
Terrible company. Don't expect to ever get paid. They avoid calls or are never in the office.
